Question How is the balance sheet linked to the other financial statements?
Answer
The amount of retained earnings reported on the balance sheet is equal to net income.
Retained earnings is added to total assets and reported on the balance sheet.
Net income increases retained earnings on the statement of retained earnings, which ultimately increases retained
earnings on the balance sheet.
There is no link between the balance sheet and other statements, as each contains different accounts and provides

A)

B)
Total expenses for 2014.
C)
What is the purpose of the income statement?
D)
Is Taryn Corp. profitable? Explain your answer.
E)
Is this the first year of operations for Taryn Corp.? Explain your answer.
Answer A)
$168,000
($165,000 Sales Revenue + $3,000 Interest Income = $168,000)
B)
$153,000
($51,000 Cost of Sales + $40,000 Salaries & Wages Expense + $44,000 Selling Expenses + $18,000 Income
Taxes Expense = $153,000)
C)
The purpose of the income statement is to provide information regarding the revenues and expenses of the entity.
The difference shows the profitability of the company for a particular period of time.
D)
Taryn Corporation had net income for the period of $15,000. Since revenues exceeded expenses for the period, the
company would be considered profitable.
E)
This would not be the first year of operations for Taryn Corporation. The reasons for this are that the ending
Retained Earnings balance is greater than the net income of $15,000. Since the ending balance of Retained
Earnings is $32,000, and Net Income for the period was $15,000 as well as apparently no dividends declared and
paid to the stockholders during the year, Taryn Corporation began the year with a balance of $17,000 ($32,000 $15,000) in Retained Earnings.

Question Target, Inc., started the year with total assets of $400,000 and total liabilities of $240,000. Net income for the year is
$120,000 and dividends declared and paid during the year are $90,000.
A) What is the amount of Target’s total stockholders’ equity at the end of the year?
B) Could Target have paid additional dividends during the year? Explain your answer.
$190,000
Answer A)
($400,000 Total Assets at the beginning of the year - $240,000 Total Liabilities at the
beginning of the year = $160,000 Total Equity at the beginning of the year)
($160,000 Total Equity at the beginning of the year + $120,000 Net Income for the year $90,000 Dividends declared and paid during the year = $190,000)
B)
Yes. Assuming the company has enough cash to do so, dividends can be paid. Net income exceeded the
amount of dividends paid by $30,000 ($120,000 - $90,000), so the amount paid could have been increased. Also
the company has total positive retained earnings.

Assume that the company declared and paid dividends of $22,000 during the year. How much net income did it earn during
the year?
D)
Assume that the company paid no dividends during the year. Without looking at the income statement, how can you tell if
the company is profitable or not?
Answer A)
$44,000
($98,000 Assets - $54,000 Liabilities = $44,000)
B)
$47,000
($131,000 Assets - $84,000 Owners’ Equity = $47,000)
C)
$62,000
($44,000 Beginning Owners’ Equity + X - $22,000 Dividend = $84,000 Ending Owners’ Equity)
(X = $106,000 - 44,000 = $62,000)
D)
Assuming that the increase in owners’ equity would come from net income, the company would have to be considered
profitable. Net income will increase retained earnings which is a part of owners’ equity

Earnings = $80,000)
D)
One way that the company can increase stockholders’ equity is to sell additional shares of stock. Retained
earnings will increase when the company reports net income for the period greater than the dividends paid.
E)
The statement of retained earnings shows that the company was profitable for the year by reporting net income
for the period. If the company were to experience an operating loss, then this would be shown as a deduction
from the beginning balance of retained earnings.

A)
How much is the balance of retained earnings at the end of the year?
B)
Show the accounting equation for Costello Company at the end of the year with the respective dollar amounts.
C)
If stockholders’ equity increases during the year, does that mean that the company is profitable? Explain your answer.
Answer A)
$35,000
($15,000 Retained earnings, beginning of the year + $40,000 Net income - $20,000
Dividends for the period = $35,000) OR
($143,000 Total assets, end of the year - $92,000 Total liabilities, end of the year $16,000 Capital stock, end of the year = $35,000)
B)
$143,000 Total assets, end of the year = $92,000 Total liabilities, end of the year +
$51,000 Owners’ Equity, end of the year ($16,000 Capital stock, end of the year +
$35,000 Retained earnings, end of the year)
C)
This would depend upon what causes the stockholders’ equity to increase. If the increase were due to an
increase in retained earnings, then the company would have been profitable for the period. But if the increase
were due to an increase in the amount of capital stock issued, this would not be a measure of profitability.
